    Think about the overhead, here is a triple-layered game engine ! Wonder what you could really do with these machines if you hard coded them 80's style in assembler...

    Now include a Wiki environment and people can dynamically built and develop on the levels. Looks nice, really.

  3. Opera 9 preview 1 by sucker_muts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In opera 9 preview 1 it works, but incredibly slowly. I get about 1 fps, because it reloads all the scenery and redraws the white walls with every move.

    Perhaps because the /. effect? Or is javascript not dependent on the server? Or is the implementation for javascript in opera not optimal?
